The post-composer is probably the most important feature of Taplio. After all, what good is finding inspiration if you can’t actually publish?
💡 Before you schedule your first post, it’s a good idea to set up your content schedule in Taplio.
So we’ve made the composer extremely accessible from any page in the app. You can either open the sidebar menu and click on the “Write” button, or simply click on this button while the side menu is closed, which will also open the composer.
Whenever you click on that button, composer will open for you to start writing.
The composer is made out of multiple sections, but in this article, we’ll cover the most basic action you’ll want to do which is to write and publish a post.
Let’s start off with writing.
This is where you write your content. As you can see, this is very similar to just about any text input block you’ll find on the web.
At the bottom of the text box are all the options you can use:
creating poll
adding snippets
formatting the font
adding media (image, video, or pdf)
adding GIF
adding emojis
If you want to check the preview of your post, you can click on the icons in the top right corner of the composer. You can actually switch from mobile to desktop view for your preview.
You can also see the “see more” line component, which can vary between desktop and mobile views.
Whenever you’re done writing a post, you have a few posting and scheduling options available.
The most important one is the “Schedule Post” which allows you to simply add your post to the first available slot in your post schedule and not have to worry about setting a specific time for it to be published.
If you do want it to go out at a specific time though, you can open the dropdown menu to the right of the “Schedule Post” button, and find other options such as “Post next”, “Schedule” or "Post now".
Post next - Adds your post to the first slot in your queue. If the slot was already populated, pushes the previous post down and puts your new post in that slot.
Schedule - Allows you to choose the date and time manually without worrying about time slots in your queue.
Post now - Publishes a post in less than a minute.
One other option available in Taplio is drafting a post. If you have a few post ideas, you can:
1. Write your ideas into composer,
2. Press the "New draft" button
3. And your ideas will be saved as drafts, allowing you to revisit them at any time and continue your writing.
